Rancho Gordo works at the intersection of agricultural heritage and culinary tradition, reviving heirloom beans and grains once nearly lost to industrial agriculture. Based in Napa, California, the company partners with small farms in the U.S. and Mexico to grow crops rooted in regional identity and cultural memory. Each variety is carefully selected for flavor, texture, and resilience, offering a vibrant alternative to commodity legumes while supporting sustainable, community-based farming practices.

Ingredients: Marcella Beans

To prepare Marcella Beans, rinse thoroughly and soak for 2 to 6 hours to reduce cooking time. In a large pot, sauté aromatic vegetables like onions, garlic, celery, and carrots in olive oil. Add the beans and enough water to cover them by about 2 inches. Bring to a full boil for 10 to 15 minutes, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer, partially covering the pot. Cook until tender, approximately 1 to 3 hours, salting when the beans begin to soften. These beans are excellent in salads, soups, casseroles, and as a meat alternative in various dishes.
